Dojo from the get-go

First launch was back in 2009. So with over 15 years in the payments industry, we’ve got a story to tell. 

Dojo is built to soothe customer and consumer pain points across the world for over 140,000 customers. 

And today, there’s over 1,200 of us in multiple locations across the UK, Ireland, Spain, and Italy.

Our mission is to empower businesses to thrive in the experience economy by creating the tools and tech that turns transactions into meaningful relationships. 

We do that through sophisticated EPOS payments integrations, fast transactions, hospitality bookings, and a strong consumer restaurant app.

Question: what’s curious, relentless, and customer-obsessed?

If you’re keen to know the answer, you’re a third of the way to meeting our Dojo values.

If the following speaks to you, let’s talk:

• You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
• You’re relentless. You keep going even when it’s easier not to. 
• You’re customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do. 

Dojo Home and away

We love collaboration. We have offices across Europe – that takes some dynamism.

Long-distance calls are a must, but we’ve always valued in-person work when it’s possible, especially meetings. We aim for asynchronous communication when we can though.

Don’t like rules? Nor do we. We avoid top-down policies – it’s all about teams having the power to fuel their success. 

At Dojo, you’re trusted to judge what you see and make the call in the best interest of our customers.
